25th April Synod

 

Allowing the medical team access to my pulse just to check i'm still alive 

At what could have been my last synod in the Nottingham and Derby district, it actually turned out to be the one where i just switched tables and sat with the folks from what will be my new circuit. Let's be honest I spend enough time as it is meeting with the current lot here. 

Plus it is was a chance to agree a signing on fee for my September transfer, which as the moment looks to be as mahoooosive as all the other transfer fess I have received in the past. The positive thing is that the new bunch of circuit stewards look like a good bunch to work with. I am sure there will be the usual strong characters to work alongside but tell me somewhere were those don't exist and I'll gladly move there.

As for synod itself, well if I say the highlight of the day was the beautiful drive from Matlock through Ashbourne to Uttoxeter. As for the rest, it was pretty much like every synod I have been too, dull but with one or two ideas that I came away thinking 'now that's something we could do!'

So today, TOM and I had a little jolly up to Bolsover Cruise club to book our next naughty-cal adventure, a week long trip on P&O Iona, one of the BIG boats, up to the fjords at the end of July to coincide with me finishing my stay here in Hucknall. Amazingly there were no issues, mainly because I knew when we wanted to go and what we wanted with regards all the actual booking, the other member of the party having shown little interest in anything to do with the trip. We even paid for it all up front or rather TOM did. All ready to leave TOM then asked for a cup of coffee before suddenly pulling out the Marella bochure and asking if he could book not just one, not just two but three connecting cruises in the Caribbean and then back across the Atlantic to Malaga for April this year. A total of 28 days. On his own.  I am not sure quite what face I was wearing at the time but i suspect it quickly changed to my 'WTF' face. He had not mentioned a thing about this to me. And that...

When this was first played on the radio my reaction was...mmmmh. It didn't really grab me and I thought if it had been released by anyone else that everyone else's reaction would also have been....mmmmh. But the world and it's dog seemed to go crazy over it. This morning, only 9 days after the event, I finally saw the live performance of the song at the recently held Brits and wow does it give it a completely different perspective. Perhaps its because this time round I was able to concentrate on the actual song which is not always easy to do when driving. Plus the choreography felt fresh and exciting with faint hints of both Christine and the Queens regarding the actual moves and Future Islands with respect to the sound. Anyway just imagine what it might sound like withoutall the screaming pubescent girls almost drowning out every word. This is Harry Styles and Aperture
